If I want to not use any text editor and put all the commit message including subject and body lines into the useful one-line command:
$ git commit -m 'message including subject and body lines'
,I need to insert first body-line two lines after subject and the next lines just at the next new line. E.g.:
feat: Derezz the master control program
- MCP turned out to be evil and had become intent on world domination.
- This commit throws Tron's disc into MCP.
So I tried to use '\n' but didn't solve the problem.!!

If you're working in Bash (on Linux or in Git Bash on Windows), then you can use the $'...'
syntax from Bash, which lets you use \n
and other escape sequences:
$ git commit -m $'message subject\n\nmessage body'
will create a commit with message
message subject
message body
CodePudding user response:
You can use -m
multiple times:
git commit -m 'message including subject' -m 'and body lines'
Every -m text
separated with an empty line so this command will produce
message including subject
and body lines
CodePudding user response:
Method 1:
git commit -m "title" -m "A paragraph." -m "Another paragraph."
Method 2:
git commit -m "title
A paragraph.
Another paragraph."
They have exactly the same outcome. Note that in the 2nd method you need to punch Enter twice at the end of each line (except the last one).
